[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] 15-day Public Review for Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.0 - ends January 26th
OASIS members and other interested parties, The OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) TC members [1] have produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for 15-day public review: Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.0 Committee Specification Draft 05 / Public Review Draft 05 29 October 2015 Specification Overview: This document describes the specifications of the "virtio" family of devices. These devices are found in virtual environments, yet by design they are not all that different from physical devices, and this document treats them as such. This allows the guest to use standard drivers and discovery mechanisms. The purpose of virtio and this specification is that virtual environments and guests should have a straightforward, efficient, standard and extensible mechanism for virtual devices, rather than boutique per-environment or per-OS mechanisms. Public Review Period: The public review starts 12 January 2016 at 00:00 UTC and ends 26 January 2016 at 11:59 UTC. This public review draft makes changes to Committee Specification 03. The changes are tracking in the red-line file at http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/cs03/virtio-v1.0-cs03-diff.html.  This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
